Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Tice, FL
Chimney cleaning in Tice typically runs $159 – $289 for a standard sweep, and most jobs are done the same morning the crew rolls up. Tice homes sit low and flat, minutes from the Caloosahatchee, which means humid air, quick creosote buildup, and critters that treat an uncapped flue like open real estate. We work off a written price and a checklist you see before anything gets touched. Call (830) 251-4560 and you’ll get a live person, not a recording.
Why Tice Homes Are Different
Tice’s housing stock is older Florida practical: block construction, low-pitch rooflines, and chimneys that were often added for a wood stove or a masonry fireplace rather than engineered as a full system. A lot of what we open up in Tice hasn’t been looked at in years. The humidity here is the quiet problem: during the off-season, warm moist air sits inside a cool flue and condenses against creosote that’s already there. That mixture hardens into a glaze that a standard brush will not move. It has to be chemically treated or removed with a rotary head, which changes both the time and the price on the spot.
The critter pressure is real too. Tice sits in a low swamp-adjacent pocket, and raccoons, squirrels, and birds find uncovered flues fast. The fix is usually a properly fitted cap and screen, not a full animal removal job, but you want the flue inspected before burning season regardless. We also work around a fair number of homes with low clearances near the roofline and plenty of morning roof condensation, so ladder placement up here gets planned, not improvised.
Our Main Tice Services
The two calls we take most from Tice homeowners are for a standard cleaning before burn season and for an inspection after a house sat empty through the summer. Here’s what each involves locally.
Chimney Sweep in Tice
A Chimney Sweep in Tice means a full flue cleaning top to bottom, the firebox, the smoke shelf, and the damper. In Tice’s humidity we pay extra attention to glaze and to any water staining that suggests a bad cap. Most sweeps here take 45 to 90 minutes. The crew drops cloths, runs a HEPA vacuum, and leaves the firebox cleaner than they found it. Written price first, always.
Chimney Inspection in Tice
An Chimney Inspection in Tice is a camera run through the flue with a written report and photos you keep. For Tice buyers closing on older block homes, this is the report that tells you whether the liner is still sound or the previous owner just painted over a problem. Inspections here catch cracked clay tiles, water entry at the crown, and rusted dampers before anyone lights a fire.
Chimney Repair in Tice
Chimney Repair in Tice covers liner work, crown repair, damper replacement, and masonry fixes on the chimney structure itself. Tice’s humidity accelerates spalling on older brick and rust on steel dampers, so we specify materials for coastal Florida conditions: stainless liners, proper crown mixes, and sealed caps. Every repair carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

FAQs About Chimney Company in Tice
Most Tice sweeps and inspections are scheduled within the same week. We route multiple Tice jobs on the same day, so you get a tight arrival window rather than an all-day wait. Call (830) 251-4560 and we’ll give you a day and a two-hour window before we confirm.
Most single-family Tice homes don’t require HOA approval for a standard sweep or inspection. If a visible exterior repair like a cap replacement comes up, we’ll tell you what we’re doing, but we don’t file HOA paperwork on your behalf. Your community rules are yours to check.
It doesn’t without your sign-off. We write the price, the scope, and the parts before we start. If we find something that changes the job mid-way, we stop, show you the camera photos, and price the additional work in writing. You approve it or we pack up.
